Magdi Allam, an Italian House Arab

Ikhras received this from Miguel Martinez. With a degree in Oriental Languages, Miguel is a translator and runs the blog http://www.kelebeklerblog.com/. House Arabs don’t exist only in the US. Neither do those who are disgusted with them.

“It was more or less when I was graduating from high school, when one feels the strong need to understand what one really wants to do as a grown up, that I gave myself this answer: “I want to be a journalist or a head of state”.

Magdi Allam,Io amo l’Italia. Ma gli Italiani la amano?, p. 25

The most entertaining House Arab in Italy is Magdi Cristiano Allam, Egyptian-born journalist, convert to Catholicism, politician, and Muslim-basher.

David A. Harris, Executive Director of the American Jewish Committee thrills:

“Magdi Allam offers us hope.

For his fearless courage and soaring eloquence, AJC has proudly given this year’s Media Award to Magdi Allam.”
